Halle Berry Joins Verhoeven’s Surrogate

Halle Berry is in talks to star in director Paul Verhoeven’s new thriller The Surrogate at 20th Century Fox.

Based on the 2004 book by Kathryn Mackel, the story centers on a couple desperate to have a child who find themselves in an unbearable position when they find out the surrogate they hired to carry their baby is insane.

The project would mark Berry’s return to the big screen after having a baby last year.
